2207: So, we're done for another night. Turned into a decent one, didn't it? Anyway, I hope you've been entertained, not least by stunning performances from Everton and Bolton. It's been an honour presiding over these events, in fairness. On Saturday, I'm sure you'll all give the one and only Caroline Cheese a big welcome back after her month-long sojourn abroad. But don't tell her how rubbish I've been in her absence - I'm her gaffer-in-chief for the day. Adios, amigos.

2204:EVERTON PLAYER RATER
No guesses for who is leading the way in the Everton ratings. Yakubu is on a massive 8.86, with partner-in-crime Andrew Johnson on 8.73.

2202:TOTTENHAM PLAYER RATER
Jamie O'Hara is still leading the way for Spurs on 7.35, with Teemu Tainio struggling for your votes on 5.74.

2157: "I've heard it all now - the tube has stopped because the driver has gone blind."
Billy, via text

I just don't know what to make of that. What a remarkable text.

2153: "Everton are looking better and better, they are going to be extremely hard to beat. Even Bayern Munich would have a very tough time against Everton right now."
Scubar2k8 on 606

2150: FULL-TIME Everton 6-1 Brann
Job done, in brutal fashion. David Moyes and his men will now take on Italian giants Fiorentina in the last 16.

2148: GOAL Everton 6-1 Brann
Steven Pienaar sends the ball infield to Andrew Johnson 30 yards out, he takes the ball on and then absolutely creams the ball into the top corner. It sets off towards the middle of the goal, but swings and seams more than a Matthew Hoggard snorter on a damp and cloudy April morning at Headingley. Sensational.

2147: "Great wins tonight as that was some tough opponents for the British teams! Bolton and Rangers did a great job and, well, Aberdeen had a great experience and can hold their heads high from the first leg. I am sure everyone would struggle at Bayern."
Rednyella on 606

2145: "Looking at the draws, every British side will be the underdog in the next round."
Dave, Edinburgh, via text

2143: Another chance for Brann and that man Petter Vaagen Moen hits the post after Everton fail to clear their lines from a cross from the right.

2142: "I'm not letting Bolton put me through that again!!! I'm off to Lisbon no matter how I have to get a ticket! It's got to be easier than the stress I've gone through this evening."
RememberScarborough on 606

2141: Steven Pienaar clips a shot against the foot of Brann's post as Everton continue to take advantage of some pretty shoddy defending.

2138: FULL-TIME Tottenham 1-1 Slavia Prague
Spurs hold on - and they did have to hold on a bit in the second half - and they will play PSV Eindhoven in the next round.

2137: FULL-TIME Atletico Madrid 0-0 Bolton
Unbelievable. EL Hadji Diouf's goal from the first leg sends Bolton through to the last 16 where they will play Sporting Libson, probably.

2133: Are you nervous, Spurs and Bolton fans?

2131: Three minutes plus stoppages left for Bolton to hang on in Madrid.

2129: GOAL Everton 5-1 Brann
Embarrassing. The Norwegians have thrown in the towel and Yakubu completes his hat-trick with an easy tap-in from two yards after some calamitous defending.

2128: Darren Bent squeezes in a shot at Tottenham, but the ball deflects off a defender and loops on to the top of the crossbar.

2127: GOAL Everton 4-1 Brann
Massively unlucky that, for Brann. Mikel Arteta takes a pass from Steven Pienaar 20 yards out and shoots, but the ball is massively deflected and wrong-foots Hakon Opdal.

2126: Manuel Fernandes carelessly gives the ball away to Brann and Thorstein Helstad bears down on goal, only to see his shot hit the side-netting.

2123: The phrase cultured left foot was made for Petter Vaagan Moen. He drills another 35-yard free-kick that only just clears the crossbar. Boy can this fella strike a football. Impressive. Reminds me a bit of Jorg 'The Hammer' Albertz.

2122: Slavia Prague are all over Spurs like a rash and first Younes Kaboul and then Jamie O'Hara need to make very timely blocks to stop goalbound shots. They are not through here yet Spurs, in any shape or form.

2119: Paul Robinson makes a fabulous one-handed save to deny Milan Ivana after he curls a right-footed free-kick top corner-bound from 25 yards. Top save, can only have seen that late.

2119: "Think I might book my flight for the Uefa Cup final now. Anyone know any good deals from Liverpool to Manchester airport?"
Adam, Liverpool, via text

Cocky.

2116: GOAL Everton 3-1 Brann
Howler from Tim Howard. Petter Vaagen Moen slams in a free-kick from 25 yards that skids along the ground, takes a bad bounce and beats the Everton keeper, who went for it one-handed. What do they tell you in the slip cordon? Always go two hands if you can. Always. You can tell he never played cricket.

2114: "Gazza's ball control was eye-watering."
V Jones, Hollywood, via text

2113: Slavia Prague hit the post through David Strihavka, technically a very good volley as the ball gets to him at an awkward height and he hooks it over his shoulder. Paul Robinson would not have got anywhere near it. Spurs bring on Jermaien Jenas for Aaron Lennon.

2110: GOAL Everton 3-0 Brann
Yakubu collects a Steven Pienaar pass, twists inside his defender and slots past the goalkeeper from 12 yards. Everton are properly on easy street now.

2110: "I met Gazza at Cameron House just after he left Rangers, he spotted my Gers top, came up to me and told me how he wished he was there to take us to 10 in-a-row, the guy was a genius and an idol for Rangers!"
Jamie Parker, hiding in work, via text

2107: Slavia have a great chance to go ahead on the night after Spurs fail to clear a free-kick, but Frantisek Drizdal heads straight into Paul Robinson's arms.

2107: "Gazza's goal against Scotland during Euro '96. One of the best goals I've ever seen. And I say that as a Scot!"
Chris, Edinburgh, via text

What. A. Goal.

2105: Jurado shoots wide after being allowed to run through on the Bolton goal. A close shave for Gary Megson's men.

2103: Andrew Johnson races on to a Mikel Arteta pass and slots the ball beyond the dive of Hakon Opdal, but the ball cannons off the post as play gets under way at Everton.

2101: Ivan Campo comes on for Bolton, with Gavin McCann going off. Campo gets the bird from the Madrid fans, after his spell with city rivals Real.

2101: Robbie Keane puts the ball in the net at Spurs, but he is rightly flagged offside.

2057: Lots of chat about Gazza's best moment coming when he bagged a hat-trick against Aberdeen to hand Rangers their eighth title in a row. Legend.

2054: GOAL Tottenham 1-1 Slavia Prague
Daniel Pudil swings over a bamboozling cross from the left that panics the Spurs defence and Matej Krajcik is on hand at the far stick to poke the ball home.

2053: "I think Gazza is one of the best players this country has had in the last 30 years, it's such a shame to see such a great man going this way. Long live Gazza - a real hero."
mindkeitho on 606

2050: "One of my best memories of Gazza was when the ref dropped his cards and Gazza showed him a yellow only to be yellow carded himself! Classic Gazza."
Ryan in Glasgow, via text

That was classic Gazza. It was also the definition of a sense of humour failure from that referee. Shocking.

2049: The games at Spurs and Atletico Madrid are under way.

2048: Robbie Keane comes on for Dimitar Berbatov at White Hart Lane.

2046: HALF-TIME Everton 2-0 Brann

2045: Brann's Petter Vaagen Moen tries an audacious free-kick from fully 40 yards and he catches it sweetly too, but it's a bit too straight if anything and Tim Howard pushes it on to the roof of the net.

2044: "Gazza's best moment? Easy. Gazza's Cruyf turn in the 1990 World Cup inbetween two defenders. Hero."
nowthennathan on 606

2041: GOAL Everton 2-0 Brann
Andrew Johnson races on to a through ball and hits a stunning low shot into the far corner from the right-hand edge of the 18-yard box. Game. Set. Match. Laters.

2035: GOAL Everton 1-0 Brann
Yakubu secures Everton's passage into the last 16 with a delightful curling finish past Hakon Opdal, just moments after Tim Howard had made a crucial save to deny Thorstein Helstad from close-range.

2033: HALF-TIME Atletico Madrid 0-0 Bolton

2033: HALF-TIME Tottenham 1-0 Slavia Prague

2031: This is turning into a rubbish night of European football (except for Rangers fans). How about some Gazza chat? I feel desperately sorry for the England legend after today's events. I want to know your best memories of Gazza. He's a hero, spill...

2027: Matty Taylor just gets in ahead of Diego Forlan to head a cross out for a corner - the Madrid fans want a penalty, but referee Jacek Granat is having none of it.

2026: It's all gone a bit quiet. Come on goals!

2022: Yakubu swings over a cross from the right at Goodison, but it is just too far in front of Andrew Johnson.

2022: "Banner in Brann end tonight - "You're just a small team in Kirkby". Class those Norwegians."
Purple Aki, via text

2020: "I'm not a fan of any of these teams particularly, but I still want sympathy, I'm in the library writing an essay!"
Fifecanary on 606

All together now, aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

2018: "If Jongres123 (See 2012) is a diehard fan, why isn't he at the game, Stevo?"
Diehard Red, Manchester, via text

Can I answer that? Shall I let Jongres123 instead? Son?

2017: Atletico miss an open goal, Luis Garcia wasting a fine chance from six yards after great work from Diego Forlan. Garcia appears to have a dead leg.

2015: Jussi Jaaskelainen saves from Maxi Rodriguez, while Spurs hit the bar at the Lane, Jamie O'Hara crossing from the left and Darren Bent heading against the crossbar, thanks to a fine save from Michal Vorel.

2012: (See 1956) "Just told my brother im a lifelong Everton fan and a diehard football fan so no he can't have a lift."
jongre123 on 606

Good work. But surely he knew these two things anyway? I sincerely hope so.

2011: Thorstein Helstad forces a routine save from Tim Howard as Brann go in search of a way back into the tie at Goodison.

2010: Kevin Nolan is shown a yellow card for a foul on Jose Antonio Reyes.

2007: Tom Huddlestone lets fly with a screamer that Michal Vorel does well to parry into the path of Aaron Lennon, who skews his shot wide.

2005: Luis Garcia tests Jussi Jaaskelainen in the Vicente Calderon, before Maxi Rodriguez unleashes a rocket shot that is blocked by Andy O'Brien.

2004: "Waiting for the Everton game to start, with the cat snug on my lap and the missus comes in to discuss which curtain track we should get!"
Simon, via text

I hope you've drawn a line under that discussion now, fella.

2003: Fabio Capello is in the stands at White Hart Lane. What a big night for a certain Paul William Robinson.

2001: "So then. Will Brann flake under the Goodison pressure? I'll get my coat."
nowthennathan on 606

2000: Everton and Brann are under way at Goodison Park.

1959: "Bet young Churchie's lost her voice (See 1721) and it's all gone quiet in Lossiemouth (See 1729). Rangers will be the only Scottish team in Europe once Barca complete the second leg pumpfest!"
From Yir-tea's-oot! in Edinburgh, via text

1957: Stelios has a shot saved by Christian Abbiati as Bolton push forward in Spain.

1956: "Waiting for Everton game to start and my brother just asks me to give him a lift to his university."
jongre123 on 606

Just say no.

1954: GOAL Tottenham 1-0 Slavia Prague
Jamie O'Hara scores his first goal for Spurs, it is a left-foot strike from 20 yards that deflects heavily off Martin Latka and completely wrong-foots Michal Vorel.

1953: Joey O'Brien is booked in Madrid.

1951: "So, I wait for ages for the first half of this Bolton game, and now mum comes in saying my hair needs rewashing."
smashingmeiterules on 606

Remarkable "banter", that. Bad hair day is it son?

1950:Keep the texts coming on 81111 guys and girls, and keep the banter going on 606. The Scots have come and gone, now it's the turn of the English.

1948: We are under way in Madrid, too.

1947: We are under way at Tottenham.

1946:RANGERS PLAYER RATER
No particularly high scores from the Panathinaikos-Rangers match. Perhaps surprisingly, substitute Chris Burke is tops with 7.05, while goal hero Natcho Novo is second with but 6.70. Giannis Goumas is tops for Panathinaikos, with 6.64. I reckon, after he just scored the greatest goal that a human could score, that that's a bit stingy.

1945: "I don't think Bolton will be as lucky tonight as they where last time unfortunately, I think it's going to be a 3-1 defeat."
boydy262 on 606

Boo. Come on Bolton, come on Spurs and come on Everton. Bang.

1942:ABERDEEN PLAYER RATER
Lukus Podolski notched a brace against the Dons and his pleasure can only be boosted by the news that he leads our Player Rater with a whopping 8.38. Aberdeen's Omatsone Aluko is top for the visitors with 6.36. Maybe that makes you furious? Well, you can change it...

1941: TEAM NEWS Everton v Brann
Everton make three changes to the side which beat Brann in the first leg, with Mikel Arteta, Steven Pienaar and Nuno Valente starting. Manuel Fernandes, Leon Osman and Joseph Yobo are all rested. Brann include newly-signed striker Njogu Demba-Nyren in place of former Portsmouth forward Azar Karadas, who was on the bench, in the only change to the Brann team.

1937:TEAM NEWS Atletico Madrid v Bolton
Bolton bring Stelios Giannakopoulos, Gavin McCann and Joey O'Brien into the starting XI for El-Hadji Diouf, Ivan Campo and Danny Guthrie. Atletico Madrid are unable to call on teenage striker Sergio Aguero after Uefa banned him for two matches following his red card last week, but Luis Garcia returns following his suspension.

1935: Rangers will play either Werder Bremen or Braga in the last 16, forgot to mention that earlier. Werder are 3-0 up from the first leg, so every chance it'll be the Germans, I'd wager.

1934: FULL-TIME Bayern Munich 5-1 Aberdeen
A touch harsh on the Dons maybe, but Bayern were in clinical mood tonight and they was rarely any doubt about the result. Bayern will now play Anderlecht or Bordeaux in the next round.

1928: "Ouch. First it giveth then it taketh away."
sjmbeef on 606

1926: GOAL Bayern Munich 5-1 Aberdeen
Gorgeous hit that from Mark van Bommel, the Dutch midfielder rifling into the bottom corner after being teed up by Andreas Ottl.

1924: GOAL Bayern Munich 4-1 Aberdeen
Great stuff from the Scottish boys and a well-deserved consolation arrives at last. Jeffrey de Visscher curls over a cross from the left and Steve Lovell gets up well to head the ball past Oliver Kahn. Great work son.

1923: Oliver Kahn makes a stunning reaction save to deny Aberdeen a consolation, after Steve Lovell creates some space down the left and sets up Barry Nicholson to test the German keeper from 12 yards.

1918: GOAL Bayern Munich 4-0 Aberdeen
Oh dear. The Dons have fallen apart a little here, Bastian Schweinsteiger swinging over a corner and Lukas Podolski rising highest, unmarked, to head into the net.

1918: "3-0 Bayern... when you can take off a Toni and put on a Klose, you can be confident of beating Aberdeen at home no matter how well they play and who the referee is. Sorry Dons, you just can't defend that line-up."
MichiganFlicker on 606

1915: TEAM NEWS Tottenham v Slavia Prague
Tottenham have recalled keeper Paul Robinson, who will be captain, with Radek Cerny dropped. Striker Robbie Keane is on the bench as Darren Bent starts up front. Jamie O'Hara and Younes Kaboul come in for Jermaine Jenas and Steed Malbranque in the other changes from the first leg. Slavia Prague midfielder Matej Krajcik is back after suspension.

1912: GOAL Bayern Munich 3-0 Aberdeen
Now that is game over. Substitute Miroslav Klose forces a good save from the Dons keeper Jamie Langfield, but the ball falls for Lukas Podolski to rifle into the roof of the net. Clinical finish from the youngster.

1911: "Well done to the Gers, but what's going on in Germany? Come on you Dons, get your act together! You can beat (or get a 3-3 draw) with these nancies!"
gers-ham89 on 606

1908: Mark van Bommel tests Jamie Langfield with a sidefooted effort the keeper is more than equal to.

1906: Rumour suggests that Paul Robinson is back in the Spurs team to face Slavia Prague. Further news as and when we get it.

1903: Chris Maguire comes on for Josh Walker in Munich.

1901: "Robbed. It's hard enough playing away to Bayern without the officials against you."
Paul from Aberdeen, via text

1857: Oh how cruel a game football can be. Darren Mackie puts the ball in the net, but it is ruled out for offside after Lee Miller had clipped the ball on to him - the correct decision, but a heartbreaking one nevertheless. Jimmy Calderwood looks distraught.

1854: "C'mon the Dons! Why the panic about being 2-0 down?! It's set up nicely for the 3-3 draw we need!!!"
Mac in Stornoway, via text

Golden. Come on the Dons!

1851: FULL-TIME Panathinaikos 1-1 Rangers
The Scottish leaders are through to the last 16 of the Uefa Cup on the away goals rule.

1851: Remember, away goals do count, and after 90 minutes too. Rangers are on the cusp...

1850: "Referring to what Duncan said (1837), I once cut my eye open with a sponge."

1848: "Panathawho?"

Shortest text ever. Awesome.

1846: They restart in the Allianz Arena. Good luck to Aberdeen - I mean it.

1845: "I am passing the time until 7.45 by cooking lots of eggs, anybody want one?"
Tony from Basingstoke, via text

Is that some sort of yolk?

1844: That man Giannis Goumas has another free header from another set-piece, but again he sends it well wide of the target. Four minutes plus stoppages for Rangers to hold on now.

1843: (See 1837) "Whoops! Shows what I know about football... maybe that's why I support a team like Oxford."
Duncan, Bristol, via text

1841: "Jonathan Stevenson is on for Caroline Cheese,

At least once in a while,
So get rid of grumpy Stevenson please!
xPoppySwirlx on 606

Hahaha. She's back, on Saturday, you lot can fill your boots then. For now, let's get on with tonight. It's shaping up to be a cracker.

1838: GOAL Panathinaikos 1-1 Rangers
Nacho Novo fires in from eight yards after a cross from the right is not properly cleared by the Greeks. Duncan, let's hear you now fella! As it stands, Rangers are going through.

1837: "It's got to be said that Rangers look woeful in the final third. I've seen sponge with more cutting edge."
Duncan, Bristol, via text

Ouch.

1835: Danger for Rangers again, Andreas Ivanschitz fires in a cross-shot from the left and as it is deflected, it loops into the path of Marcelo Mattos, who somehow fails to make contact with his head from three yards. Lifeline for the Scottish side.

1833: Giannis Goumas rises unmarked from a free-kick, but he's not as good with his head as he is with those rocket-fuelled feet and nods tamely off target.

1832: HALF-TIME Bayern Munich 2-0 Aberdeen

1831: Lucio hits the woodwork at the far post as a cross is sent over from the Bayern right.

1830: Christian Dailly makes a fantastic tackle on Dimitrios Salpigidis to prevent a goalscoring chance. Rangers are still in this, make no mistake.

1827: "Fletch, ignore the idiots who constantly criticise you you are doing a great job. By the way why do the English write off Munich to win the tournament?"
FCB fan in Scotland, via text

Hang on, do I sound like Fletch?

1824: "Mr Stevenson, Rangers are going to go through I guarantee it, Charlie Adam shall be the hero!"
Jesus of Suburbian Knights on 606

Christ almighty.

1822: GOAL Bayern Munich 2-0 Aberdeen
Daniel van Buyten gets his head on to a Toni Kroos free-kick from the right and his powerful effort flies past Jamie Langfield - again in the middle of the goal - to double the Germans advantage. Game over, I suspect.

1820: "If these were English teams the updates would be more regular! Come on BBC Sport!"
Nelly from the Sneck, via text

More poor chat. There's not much going on in either game pal, so chill out will you?

1818: Andreas Ottl chances his arm from 30 yards, but Jamie Langfield is not really tested.

1817: "Aberdeen are rubbish."
Torres' right peg on 606

Not helpful chat that.

1815: Not a whole bunch of chances for either side in Greece, although Rangers look a little bit more composed than they did in the first half. It's by no means game over here - remember, a 1-1 draw puts Rangers through on away goals, so it's finely poised. And no mistake.

1812: Penalty claims all over the place in Greece. One for Rangers as Charlie Adam goes to ground in the box, then two from Panathinaikos as players start falling over left right and, indeed, centre. Referee Felix Brych is having absolutely none of it.

1810: Luca Toni does his man and surges through on goal, but his low shot is once again parried by Jamie Langfield.

1809: Darren Mackie beats the Bayern offside trap and races through, holding off Lucio, but his shot flies just wide of Oliver Kahn's right-hand post with the veteran stopper at full stretch. Agonising.

1808: "Bubble well and truly burst for the Dons. Now you can concentrate on cementing 8th eighth from the football lumimaries of St Mirren and Falkirk."
Anonymous, via text

Brutal, anonymous (put your name in next time son).

1805: They've started again in Greece. For those of you enquiring about Manucho, apparently he's only had two traning sessions with his new team so Panathinaikos did not consider him ready for action. Now stop asking!

1803: Jamie Langfield redeems himself with a top save, spreading himself well to deny Hamit Alintop as he surges into the box. At times, it feels like Bayern have twice as many players on the pitch as Aberdeen.

1802: "I'm looking at a Spurs-Everton final, even though if they get through tonight they will have PSV and Fiorentina, but they should both progress comfortably."
Sakaria2 on 606

That would be immense. The final is at the City of Manchester Stadium, too.

1800: You'd have to say, it was coming. But as my colleague Dan has pointed out 764 times, it doesn't change a lot - Aberdeen still need to score to go through, they just need to score twice now. Er, don't hold your breath.

1757: GOAL Bayern Munich 1-0 Aberdeen
Brutal. Lucio takes aim 25 yards out from the resulting free-kick and just thumps the ball high into the net, swerving a little bit as it flies past Jamie Langfield. The keeper should have done better, but a decent hit nevertheless.

1756: Alan Maybury clips the heels of Toni Kroos as he races through on goal and is perhaps a touch lucky to only receive a yellow card for his troubles.

1754: Lucas Podolski has another go, but this time he's on the stretch and his shot is easily saved by Jamie Langfield. Sounds like a cracking atmosphere inside the stadium.

1750: (See 1700) "Curse that Bob McInroy and his deadly accuracy! What does he reckon will happen next?"
Stuart Bone, Glasgow, via text

1747: Oh my goodness me. Bayern lay down a marker very, very early doors. Luca Toni sets up Lucas Podolski and the Germany striker fairly hammers a shot that almost breaks the crossbar in two. Frightening.

1747: HALF-TIME Panathinaikos 1-0 Rangers

1746: The game kicks off in Munich.

1744: The teams are out in the Allianz Arena. Are you Aberdeen fans pumped and primed? It gets no bigger.

1742: Chance for Rangers. Nacho Novo turns inside his defender on the right-side of the six-yards box and smacks a shot goalwards that Mario Galinovic does brilliantly to tip over the bar. Super save.

1741: (See 1710) "Prague looked lethal? What a load of nonsense. Spurs to win 4-0, only Everton to join them."
Paul in Sheffield, via text

1739: "Forest in the Prem Stevo?! It seemed a long way off last May when I was one of the 1500 green and whites watching the mighty Yeovil stuff you 5-2 in the play-off semi! Can't bottle it like that if you want your nephew to see you back in the top flight..."
yeovil_til_i_die on 606

Yeah, good chat. Would you like me to explain the concept of European competition to you now mate?

1737: "Is Jimmy Shaker related to Kula? C'mon the Dons!"
HammerDon on 606

1734: Carlos Cuellar recently said he thinks he's worth a place in the Spanish squad. After a block like that, he might just be right. The defender races across to get to Dimitrios Salpigidis just in the nick of time and stop what looked like a certain goal.

1732: "Toni + Podolski vs Jamie Langfield... Bayern don't stand a chance!"

Bayern Munich: Kahn, Sagnol, Lucio, Van Buyten, Jansen, Altintop, Ottl, Van Bommel, Kroos, Toni, Podolski.
Aberdeen: Langfield, Foster, Diamond, Considine, Maybury, Severin, Nicholson, Walker, Mackie, Aluko, Miller.

1726: "The Greek fans are chanting something really loud. I have no idea what they're saying but it is beginning to scare me."
Keeno1250 on 606

Told you so.

1724: The Greeks are up for this. The crowd noise is phenomenal and Rangers need to quieten them, sharpish.

1722: Tell you what, this boy Giannis Goumas can't half hit a football. He volleys in another fearsome strike from 15 yards, but this time Allan McGregor is equal to it and pushes it round the post. Rangers can hardly get out of their own half.

1721: (See 1630) "We have a bird [do you mean young woman?] in our office that reminds me of young Churchie. I really fancy her. Supports Celtic. She is celebrating the Rangers score now."
Brendan Parkinson, via text

Looks like that cat is out of that particular bag.

1717: Panathinaikos are playing some gorgeous football here and Rangers are struggling to stay with them. Could be a long evening for Walter Smith and his charges.

1715: "Alright. If Aberdeen make it, I'll be pleasantly surprised, and have a pint with my lunch tomorrow. Fingers crossed then."
Tony in Sheffield, via text

Way to push the boat out Tony.

1711: GOAL Panathinaikos 1-0 Rangers
The Greeks go close twice inside a minute, before Giannis Goumas scores a truly memorable goal, turning 35 yards out and, in the same movement, rifling the ball with minimum backlift into the top corner past a flailing Allan McGregor. That should count for two.

1710: "Spurs better not look too far ahead because Prague looked lethal last week and showed their class with their goal."
joe_blue_lagoon on 606

Blimey, we're all a little nervy tonight, aren't we? I remember being nervous ahead of Forest's second leg against Bayern Munich in the Uefa Cup quarter-final in 1996. We lost 2-1 in Munich, but I was right to be worried as we got smashed 5-1 at the City Ground. They had Jurgen Klinsmann up front, we had Jason Lee. Great times.

1707: "If Bayern lose tonight i'll not eat any bacon or drink any tea for a month."
olympicgoat on 606

Bacon and tea? Hardly a massive shout, is it? How about 'I'll eat my hat', or 'I'd put my mortgage on Bayern not losing'?

1705: Chance there for Kris Boyd. A cross is floated in from the right and the Rangers striker cannot connect properly with a volley as the ball falls into Mario Galinovic's arms.

1702: "I'm twiddling my thumbs at work and crossing my toes. If Spurs pick up any injuries tonight I'll cut them all off."

What the hell is wrong with you lot today?

1700: We kick off in Greece.

1700: "Here comes another impotent performance from Rangers. Down 1-0 by half-time, apologetically put on another striker with five minutes to go and tumble out. How depressing!"
Bob McInroy, Ayr, via text

Shall we all just go home then?

1658: The teams are out in Greece. Let's go.

1656: "Your boss is an Everton fan? I thought he was a Barnsley fan?! Or was that one-day-only? And 1632: A Sheffield Utd trial was good enough for Diego Maradona..."

Afternoon, Chacor. Firstly, I have many bosses, this is the BBC and I'm a loose cannon. And secondly, not true - the Sheffield United manager spotted Diego on a scouting mission, but couldn't stump up enough cash to buy him.

1652: "Just been made an uncle for the first time! The young lad born on the same day as a European win for Spurs and three days before he witnesses his first trophy at The Lane. Young Harry is the sign of a new era in N17!"

Congratulations Juanito and welcome to the world of football, Harry. My nephew is now nearly 17 months old. I'm hoping that Forest will be in the Premier League before we take him to his first game. Chances?

1650: "Nobody here in Norway is giving their champions Brann a chance tonight. It was hard enough before the first leg but now its impossible according to the locals."

Nothing's impossible, I'm telling you. Pass it on to the locals, nigeweir.

1647: "I wonder how many Glaswegian workers are currently getting their jackets on for a swift exit to the pub?"

1645: "The internet is the past, Everton are the future. The Toffees to ease through after a great result last week."
Kris M, via text

My boss, who is an Everton fan, might be suffering mixed emotions after that comment.

1643: OK, let's even it up (see 1630). It's like getting Brad Pitt and George Clooney and then Stevo rocks up. Is that what I'm trying to say?

1640: "Atletico are very much off form in La Liga and indeed the cups, they lost at home to Athletic Bilbao (La Liga's Middlesbrough in my opinion) at the weekend. Bolton will win 2-1."

1639: TEAM NEWS Panathinaikos v Rangers
Panathinaikos: Galinovic, Vyntra, Morris, Goumas, Nilsson, Mattos, Karagounis, Tziolis, Ivanschitz, Postiga, Salpigidis.
Rangers: McGregor, Broadfoot, Papac, Weir, Cuellar, Novo, Ferguson, Hemdani, Davis, Adam, Boyd.

1637: Early shout on the Aberdeen team has arrived at London HQ from our cousins across the border. It is as follows:

Aberdeen: Langfield, Maybury, Diamond, Considine, Foster, Severin, Walker, Nicholson, Aluko, Miller, Mackie.

1635: So get involved. Text me on 81111 and join the debate on the 606 messageboards. It's the only way to enjoy this experience. The internet's still the future, isn't it?

1632: But enough of that. Are you ready for a five-hour-plus marathon of Europe's second-best club competition? If it was good enough for Diego Armando Maradona, it's good enough for you and me.

1630: Two nights of Champions League, and now it's the turn of the Uefa Cup. It's a bit like going speed dating and getting Jessica Alba and Melissa Theuriau followed by Charlotte Church. Let's be honest, most of us would massively settle for the latter. I trust you get me?
